"If you believe the common lie "I'm not worth," that lie lives in your mind because you believe it. You don't believe people who tell you how great you are, and you don't believe them because you believe the opposite. Your faith is already invested in a belief that is not the truth; it's a lie, but your faith guides your actions.

By not feeling worthy, how do you express yourself with other people? You are shy. How can you ask for something when you do not believe you are worth it? What you believe about yourself is what you project to other people, and that is what others then believe about you. Of course, that is how they treat you, which only reinforces the belief that you aren't worth it. And what is the truth? The truth is that you are worth it; everybody is worth it."

Don Miguel Ruiz, in "The Voice of Knowledge"
